Dose-Response Relationship between Alanine Aminotransferase Levels within the Reference Interval and Metabolic Syndrome in Chinese Adults
PURPOSE Elevation in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels is a biomarker for metabolic syndrome (MS); however, the relationship has not been fully investigated within the reference interval of ALT levels. Our objective was to explore the relationship between serum ALT levels within the reference interval and MS in Chinese adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study include...
متن کاملAlanine Aminotransferase and Risk of the Metabolic Syndrome: A Linear Dose-Response Relationship
BACKGROUND Elevated baseline circulating alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level has been demonstrated to be associated with an increased risk of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), but the nature of the dose-response relationship is uncertain. METHODS We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published prospective cohort studies to characterize in detail the nature of the dose-response r...
متن کاملAlanine Aminotransferase within Reference Range Is Associated with Metabolic Syndrome in Middle-Aged and Elderly Chinese Men and Women
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between serum ALT level within reference range (≤40 U/L) and morbidity of MetS in a large middle-aged and elderly Chinese community population. METHODS Our study was a community-based cross-sectional survey which used cluster sampling method. From November 2011 to August 2012 a total of 16,539 subjects (males 5184; females 11,355) with serum ALT levels...
متن کاملHigher concentrations of alanine aminotransferase within the reference interval predict nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
BACKGROUND In nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) concentrations are considered to be a consequence of hepatocyte damage. We performed a prospective study to examine the association between ALT within its reference interval and risk for subsequent development of NAFLD. METHODS The study cohort comprised 5237 healthy men without diagnosed NAFLD an...
متن کاملThe association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and carotid atherosclerosis in subjects with within-reference range alanine aminotransferase levels.
Our aim was to investigate whether the evaluation of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by ultrasound provides additional benefit in assessing carotid atherosclerotic burden in subjects with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) concentrations within the reference range. This was a cross-sectional analysis of 769 healthy individuals (326 men and 443 women) with an ALT concentration ≤ 40 IU/L an...
